Because it takes a variety of skills to teach our diverse students, program faculty must meet a variety of standards to join the instructional team. They must be technically proficient (either through 1+ years experiencein the language in which they are teaching, and/or through earning Eleven Fifty's digital badges and completing our trainee program) and they must be pedagogically proficient in the Eleven Fifty Academy Curriculum (either by shadow teaching and/or completing our trainee program). We use a team teaching approach to make sure that each learner has the opportunity to learn in the way they learn best. Workshop instructors are proficient in their subject area through a variety of experience, industry standard certifications, and standard education credentials.Note high standards are maintained by both qualitative and quantitative reveiws.Weekly student surveys allow students to express direct feedback, but also comparisons across cohorts surface anyconcerns about instructional quality of which students my not be aware.
